It is great that now it will be possible to exploit mismatches in the perimeter, but it should be the same the other way around... I hated in 2k12 when (let's say) Pau Gasol was defended by (Let's say) Tony Parker and you could not take advantage of that properly unless you used the overpowered up and under...But in that situation a simple hook with Pau close to rim should be in most of the time, but that was not the case, hooks were not properly balanced in 2k12 in my view...

Cheers! ;-)

As some of you guys know, I'm a huge Lakers and Kobe fan - I've had instances where Ronnie and I played where I'd hold the ball out, he'd get up on me to play close and I'd spin off of him to counter his tight defense as he reaches to take a beautiful looking jump shot.

One of my favorite new things about the game this year.

Hoping for the next insight to be art related

That's sick. Can't wait to see the new animations this year. I'm probably gonna preorder once I decide on renewing my Xbox Live membership. I've always tried that on 2k12 but get that bumping animation a lot of the time lol

looks good, but i'm really hankerin' for some gameplay footage...a nice 7-8 minute clip would really hit the spot. these edited clips in the insight vids are such a small sampling. quit teasing me, 2k.

Looks great but I hate that animation where Carmelo gets contact and throws it up lefthanded. It was in 2k12 and it's unrealistic, people don't go to their off hand in those situations, he would still try to shoot it with his right. Disappointed to see it's still there.
